Buying a new marker and i have about 200 dollars give or take to purchase one. Now the ion i can buy:
got a CP no friction asa brand new, shocktech mini-drop, cp twistlock feedneck with halo collar, brand new board (stock but diff version from manufacture.) its set to 15.1 BPS at the moment. brand new qev's and a brand new CP roller trigger

Or i can get a VS2, and the VS2 barrel kit for a discount if i buy it through my church at firstcallpaintball.com. i want to know whatd you guys do.

ion has had some issues, thats why it had a new board. has had work done on it by multiple ppl. i also need to use a A/S co2 tank on it now and then, so put that into consideration. will be using HPA though about 70 percent of the time.

Ion is a Spool Valve type system.. while the VS2 is a gas blow back. So the Ion would have less kick and be quieter.. personally I think it is a better choice. Although the Ion is harder to work on than the VS2.
